  • Patent number: 10459863
    Abstract: A transceiver circuit for communicating data over a CAN bus having a first and second bus line the transceiver circuit comprising: a data input port, a data output port, a CAN-bus transceiver unit having a receive data output port for providing data received from the CAN-bus, and a transmit data input port for receiving data to be transmitted to the CAN-bus; a control input port for receiving a control signal indicative of whether transmission of data from this transceiver circuit to the CAN-bus is allowed or prohibited; a filtering circuit adapted for filtering the control signal received on the control input port and for providing a filtered control signal; a logic circuitry adapted for configuring the CAN-bus transceiver unit in receive mode based on the debounced control signal irrespective of ongoing communication on the CAN-bus.

  • Patent number: 7315142
    Abstract: A method for a power optimal control of a BLDC motor by continuously updated commutation points and circuit assembly for a power optimal control of a BLDC motor. The method includes measuring a time difference (?T) between two immediately subsequent zero crossings (TN1, TN2) of first and second motor phases, and performing a commutation of an immediately next motor phase after substantially one-half of the time difference (?T/2) elapses after the zero crossing of the second motor phase (TN2). The commutation is performed for all phases in a continuous manner in accordance with a switching algorithm (Tcommutation=TN2+(?T/2)).
